We add apple cider vinegar to the coffee cake batter for flavor and to help the cake rise as it acts as an acid and reacts with the baking soda to for bubbles in the batter as it bakes.

Use your favorite baking dish. For this recipe, I used a bundt cake pan, but you can use a traditional cake pan or even a muffin tin to make keto coffee cake muffins.

What is Coffee Cake?

Coffee cake is a sweet and buttery cake that is usually topped with streusel or glaze and eaten with coffee. This dense, single-layered cake originated in Europe in the 17th century and was paired with coffee in Germany, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands. Coffee cake became important to a tradition called kaffeeklatsch, which was were people would drink caffeine and eat coffee cake while gossiping with neighbors. Once these communities emigrated to America, they brought the kaffeeklatsch tradition with them and coffee cakes became immensely popular. Coffee cakes are now part of American home baking recipes and can be found in nearly any café.

Does Coffee Cake Have Coffee in it?

Although early versions of coffee cakes initially contained coffee, coffee cake is typically meant to be eaten alongside coffee. Coffee cake actually has a vanilla base with a flavorful streusel or a simple glaze topping. This dairy-free coffee cake uses pecan icing or pecan streusel for a sugary topping. Some home recipes may add small amounts of left over coffee into the coffee cake batter for flavoring. In this keto coffee cake recipe, you could replace the nut milk with leftover morning coffee.

Glaze or Streusel Crumb Topping

Glaze and streusel topping are both delicious on this sugar free coffee cake. I prefer glaze with my coffee cakes, but for a delicious pecan streusel topping, use the topping it use in the keto pecan pumpkin muffin recipe. This recipe for streusel is buttery, nutty, and crunchy which pairs perfectly with the soft and fluffy keto coffee cake. You can even top this low carb coffee cake with a cream cheese frosting.

Substitutions

Substitutions can be made for this recipe if there are any nut-related allergies and you can’t tolerate almond flour. You can use sunflower flour instead of almond flour in a cup for cup ratio if there are any almond allergies since they are both keto approved. Melted butter can also be a substitute for the coconut oil if you want a more buttery keto coffee cake. Just keep in mind, the recipe will no longer be dairy-free if you use butter. If you want to make the coffee cake richer in taste and texture, you can use heavy cream instead of nut milk.

Storage

This keto coffee cake is very easy to store, so you can make it ahead of time and enjoy it throughout the week for breakfast! It’s an ideal keto breakfast to meal prep. Just make sure to keep it in an airtight container so that the cake remains fresh and moist. The keto coffee cake can stay fresh in the food storage container for a maximum of 3 days.

Keto Coffee Cake: FAQS

Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of brown sugar free sweetener?

Absolutely! You can use any keto-friendly sweetener you prefer, such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Just make sure to adjust the quantity to match the sweetness level you desire.

What can I substitute for almond flour if I have a nut allergy?

If you're allergic to nuts, you can substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour or a blend of coconut flour and additional egg to help with binding. Just remember that coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you might need to adjust the liquid ingredients.

How should I store the keto coffee cake after baking?

You can store the keto coffee cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Is there a dairy-free alternative for the nut milk?

Yes! You can use any dairy-free milk alternative, such as oat milk, soy milk, or hemp milk. Just make sure to choose an unsweetened version to keep the keto profile intact.

Can I add toppings like frosting or nuts to the coffee cake?

Definitely! You can top your keto coffee cake with a sugar-free glaze, keto-friendly frosting, or even sprinkle some chopped nuts on top for extra crunch. Just make sure any additions fit within your keto diet.
